Donate

Did you know the BCBWP is entirely donor funded?

The BC Brain Wellness Program (BCBWP) receives no operational funding from the government or other organizations. Everything we offer—from classes to workshops—is made possible thanks to the generosity of individual donors who believe in our mission.

After six years, it’s clear that the BCBWP is impacting lives. We’ve become a vital bridge in the healthcare system, helping individuals live well with chronic brain conditions. But we can’t stop here—we want to reach even more people across British Columbia.

You Can Make a Difference

Our ability to continue offering free classes and educational events depends on support from donors like you. Every gift—large or small—helps sustain and grow our program.

Here’s how your donation can make an impact:

  • $100 = 1 class for over 30 participants

  • $1,000 = A 4-week care partner workshop

  • $5,000 = A UBC student position to help support program operations

  • $10,000 = A yearlong exercise class reaching more than 4,800 participants

If you believe in our vision to transform how British Columbians live, age, and care for chronic brain conditions—please consider donating today.

Ways to Donate

Online

You’ll see two links below, and it doesn’t matter which one you click. Either way, the BCBWP directly receives 100% of your gift. We partner with both institutions, and both — as part of their support — collect donations on our behalf. Depending on your choice of link, you will receive your tax receipt either from UBC Development and Alumni Engagement, or from the VGH/UBC Hospital Foundation.

By Mail

Make cheques payable to UBC – BC Brain Wellness Program and mail to: BC Brain Wellness Program 2215 Wesbrook Mall Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3

By Phone

Prefer to donate by phone? Contact our office (604-827-4386) to arrange a secure transaction. A member of the UBC Development Office will call you to collect your credit card details safely.

Tax receipts are issued for all donations.
